Property investment stats for Cleveleys, North West

• The average rental yield is a respectable 4.7%, with the top postcode district offering up to 5.7%.
• Achievable discounts are present, with a median achieved minus asking price of £2,950 (the typical achieved discount), which may benefit buyers negotiating on price.
• Median asking prices for both 3-bedroom houses (£200,000) and 2-bedroom flats (£111,250) are relatively low, supporting affordability for investors and tenants alike.

• One-year capital growth has changed by -5.7%, which may concern those looking for short-term appreciation.
• The local market is dominated by older residents and has a low proportion of younger families and professionals, which could limit future demand growth.
• The annual number of sales (188) is modest, so liquidity could be a consideration for those needing to exit quickly.

Looking ahead, Cleveleys appears set to remain a stable investment for those prioritising income and affordability over rapid capital growth. The three-year capital growth stands at 4.6%, with an annualised rate of 1.5%, indicating steady but unspectacular performance. The local rental market is likely to stay resilient, given the strong private rented sector (in the 70th percentile) and the area’s affordability for tenants, as reflected in a rent-to-income ratio of 21.7%.

With properties spending an average of 63 days on the market and a healthy level of owner-occupation, I expect continued stability rather than volatility. Investors should not expect fireworks, but for those seeking reliable returns and manageable entry costs, Cleveleys offers a solid proposition.
